I play a Nord(kills stuff with axes), an Imperial(smooth talking assasin) and a Breton(battlemage, due to high magical resistance and decent starting magic stats)... I have played a cat monster, when I played oblivion for awhile, not my cup of tea really.
My room mate on the other hand only ever plays Khajiit mages... he's a furry though... so I guess that's why...
not exagerating either, dude played an orc warrior for like 16 levels in oblivion once... aside from that even though he's logged hundreds of hours he only ever plays khajiit mage... doesn't even be sneaky about it... confuses me to all hell...
